- JUN '21 Update - VO and Optimizations - 17 June 2021
In this update we have added all of the critical path Voiceover to the entire game as well as some narrative voiceover, and secondary VO. The VO adds a world of difference and I hope you enjoy it, whether you're returning to Kala to battle the Combine, synths and Sons again, or starting your first-ever Journey, we are sure you will love this update. In addition to the VO we have added a massive overhaul to the project optimization slimming it down and cutting out many of the unused assets that had been hanging out and causing some unnecessary giga-bloat. The overall size is about half of what it was which also gives us some room for our last gameplay area - the Sons Frigate - and giving the game is final and formal ending. The Frigate will be added in the months to come as well as the remaining VO, tuning and cinematics. Unfortunately you may run into an error running from steam, and ma…
- MAR '21 Update: 1-Year Anniversary! - 11 April 2021
It is our 1-Year Anniversary - to celebrate we are offering HONOR at 50% off for the next month. This time last year the world was shutdown - nobody could fathom what was to come. It was incredibly strange to be developing a game that was based on a interstellar virus in which the Acquiry, our version of the (intergalactic) internet - is intentionally shut off - blinding countless billions of an impending invasion and cutting off all communication. Last April we released into Early Access ahead of schedule. Since release we have updated hundreds of fixes, items, improvements ranging from waypoints to save points and an entirely new, massive open-world to explore. Our intention moving forward is to continue to polish the experience from animation, cinematics/story, audio and the moment to moment gameplay. In this update we have a number of behind-the-scenes fixes, MSK STAT tuning and the…
- FEB '21 Update - 4 March 2021
In this update we have the first of several MSK Stat adjustments, a new default AOE Blast attack, several Quality of Life improvements and numerous bug fixes. In addition, we will be laying out the update plans for '21 IN THIS UPDATE MSK Stats -Mobility Stat now increases the corruption/overheat rate, meaning JUNA will be faster and dodge (doge?) more easily but their stamina will be reduced. The rate will improve as your MOV stat increases. This is the reverse of how it worked before, where the KP stat increased the overheat rate. This will continue to be tuned as we tweak the different stat bonuses. -Max Energy Capacity will also be increased by 100 per MOV Stat point. -Max Energy will be reduced by 100 per SUR Stat point. The New BLAST attack (defaults to C-key in Key Input) is an AOE Blast that will increase in damage and range per KP Point. The blast is super effective against swar…
- JAN '21 Update - 1 February 2021
Hard to believe we are coming up on 1 year since release. This time last year we were getting ready to show at GDC in SF in March. The game has come a long way since then with hundreds of new items, fixes, polish and feedback incorporated as well as an entirely new world to explore. In this patch we have some quality of life improvements and new items as well a the start of an update on all the MSK Stat improvements - which will continue for the next couple of patches. -Replaced circle with Player Icon on map. -UI sounds -New hidden CE crate in the HUB. Can you find me? The item inside is sure to be hot! -Additional Armor and improved silhouette to Forge Keeper. -Forge Keeper Item Set. -Fixed some item alignment issues. -Fixed a bug with the Solace Barracks water plane. -Improved NPC lighting. -Reduced texture sizes on some Manakin. -Add Detect icon to Ranger. -Touched up Irium Map. -Ad…
- 2021 Updates - 9 January 2021
Happy New Year all. We will continue to update monthly with new content, fixes and quality of life changes. One of the biggest coming down the pipe is an update to the MSK Stats and their abilities. Currently, there isn't a huge difference in playstyles if players focus on one or two specialties so our goal is to adjust each Stat to feel more like what they should do. Mobility - More focus on energy, speed, dodge, stuns and cloak with reduced damage output. Survivability - More focus on 'tanking', hunting, durability, with reduced mobility. Killing Power - Kill it with FIRE. Increased damage, area of effects/auras with reduced survivability. Items that boost two or more stats will of course be even better after this update. Newest '21 update coming soon, stay connected and thank you.

- September Update - 22 September 2020
Save/Load - Perma-Death We have made a huge change to our save/load and we think this will bring a much needed reprieve to you. With the current change, when JUNA dies, she will instead be loaded back to the last checkpoint or activated relay instead of having to start over. As the game has expanded from a shorter experience into a 10-14+ hr game - we realize it just isn't realistic to have to play through flawlessly and it is also a huge bummer to start over - given also the fact that we intend to regularly add new content, new worlds and expand the game, its a far better experience being able to die and try again with a minimal set back. September was heavily focused on the new planet - Irigar and is almost complete. We are shooting to have this released and playable for the Holidays. Irigar will be accessible at around 1/3 of the game, by talking to Doxer atop the Spire in the Ruins.…
